So this is the last chapter... Are we being trolled?

I love Bleach but... I really don't see where this chapter is going! It's going really fast, I seem to remember the Arrancar arc. going for ages, we saw lengthy and interesting fight for each Espada with lots of character development.

But this chapter just seems like a highlight reel so far! Heaps of characters have been totally facerolled behind the scenes, Byakuya died in like 3 chapters and Kenpachi was whooped off stage too!

Then we see Yama-jii just straight up BBQ every interesting looking, new bad guy in the space of like 2 chapters.

I get the feeling that this whole arc is just being skimmed through and it doesn't mean this chapter will be short as hell and leave us with no more Bleach.

Re: So this is the last chapter... Are we being trolled?

Dont know man....

A friend of mine told me that because it would be the last arc, Tite Kubo would like to last it 2 years or so, (he searched that cause he wanted to know when the anime would continue, probably after the manga ends) but i dont see bleach going on for a whole year or so, more like 5 chapters.

But I hate it man, like you said, Zaraki`s ass got whooped off screen and he`s one of my favorites...

What are your thoughts?

There's nothing wrong with the pace of the manga. You only think this because you assume that this invasion is going to be all there is to this arc. It's not.

It is a fact that we are going to see Squad Zero, aka the Royal Guard, and it is a fact that we are going to see the background stories of people like Kyoraku, Ishida, Isshin/Ryuken. Kubo confirmed all of this months ago.

He has a ton of other things he wants to explore and reveal. It'll take a while, trust me.

OT: I think you mean the last arc instead of last chapter.

(On a side-note, I don't get why Kenpachi is high on a lot of people's list when it favorite characters. He's powerful, but there are about 5 captains stronger than he is. He's nothing but brute strength, and most people always say "He's such a beast!", or--my favorite one--"He might be the second strongest captain next to Yamamoto." Really...?)

i completely agree with you and i too cannot believe that so many people think Kenpachi is such a god-like character

Yes, I agree we need more info on Ishida his father etc... especially the mystery surrounding uryuu being some sort of OP weapon.

I think Aizen is going to be the main villan, or maybe even the soul king. Major plot twist would be epic... Juha Bach imo is not going to be the final villan.
